4 intrepid GoodGymers ventured to Naturescape in Florence Park on arguably the hottest day of the year so far...
Naturescape took over and converted a disused mini golf course in the hopes of turning it into a nature education area. The team at Naturescape have a new pond and despite the recent rain asked if we could help them fill it manually. Combining wheelbarrows and a continuous cycle of manual lifting we quickly filled the pond and Jo ensured that there were measures in place should any little creature fall in. Overall, it was the perfect task for such a warm day!

It is designed with the following key ingredients: ā Place ā a sense of belonging to a community People ā a community with wide reaching cultural diversity Plants ā which are so important for education, survival and beauty Play ā relaxation, an essential for healthy human development and wellbeing.
